Kafka without Zookeeper

[dimaqq]

The docs reference Apache Zookeeper which manages ... at https://www.mongodb.com/docs/kafka-connector/current/quick-start/

However, it is now possible to run Kafka without Zookeeper, which means:

• 1 container test instance
• 3 container production cluster, as opposed to 3 physical machines or 9 VMs as was the case before

Starter docs are at https://www.confluent.io/blog/kafka-without-zookeeper-a-sneak-peek/

Hi @dimaqq,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're definitely interested in showing our users different ways to set up an environment such as the new Zookeeper-less one that you pointed out. However, we may not document how to set up this configuration in the near future due to our current priorities. We'll keep it in mind for future revisions of our tutorials though!
